Check out the FOX 32 interview with pension trustee Michael Shields calling out John Gallagher (executive director of the Chicago Patrolman's Pension Board) for trying to steal our Pension money to pay for his secretary's Law School tuition for 4 years with our Pension money. That would be $22,000 a year. A total misuse of our money at a cost of $88,000 dollars.

Sadly but simply said, our Mayor has lost it. From his recent appointments to preside over education and transportation to spending hundreds of millions of dollars on the possibility of having the Olympics here. Especially when the city is not only broke but in the hole.

Mayor Daley has been selling off every revenue producing agency without any regards as to what is going to replace the hundred of millions of dollars in lost revenue EACH YEAR for the next 99 years.

Like the dope addict selling his blood for dope money, Daley is selling everything the city has to replace all the billions we lost due to his and his father's politics in this city. From out right graft, kickbacks, over priced contracts and theft to mismanagement. I wish I had a crystal ball to see how many billions we lost due to the Daleys.

10.5 million how much more money does daley have "hidden"! Hey Fitzgerald please get this guy,fill up the bus how about stroger and the 50,put madigan in for more icing!

(OT) daley promoted rosemarie andolino mark farys wife to run all of o'hare yesterday! will she get double checks like j-fed for 2 jobs? But then when she only does 1 same check? Her qualifications? she was victor reyes gofer at city hall, hired truck and hiring scandal came out,sorich and others went to prison and she gets a high dollar promotion fair? Are there any investigative reporters out there anymore? HELLO FRANK MAIN!

If you own or know someone who does own a WALTHER PPK or PPK/S semi-automatic pistol...

"IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL NOTICE - February 20, 2009

PRODUCT: Walther PPK and PPK/S pistols

DESCRIPTION OF THE HAZARD: Smith & Wesson has identified a condition that may exist in certain PPK and PPK/S pistols which may permit a round to be discharged without the trigger being pulled. When the manual safety is disengaged, Smith & Wessonʼs Product Engineering Group has determined that the possibility exists in certain firearms that lowering the hammer may cause a chambered round to fire.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT INVOLVED: This recall applies to all Walther PPK and PPK/S pistols manufactured by Smith & Wesson from March 21, 2002, until February 3, 2009. The Serial Numbers of the pistol subject to this recall are as follows:

REMEDY/ACTION TO BE TAKEN: STOP USING YOUR PISTOL AND RETURN IT TO SMITH & WESSON AT ONCE.

Any unintended discharge of a firearm has the potential for causing injury, and we ask that you stop using your pistol immediately.

To facilitate the repair of your pistol, please contact Smith & Wesson's customer service department to receive instructions for the return of your pistol to Smith & Wesson.

CONSUMER CONTACT: To receive a UPS pre-paid billable stamp and shipping instructions to arrange for the modification of your pistol click here or contact Smith & Wesson directly at 1-800-331-0852.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS RECALL, PLEASE CONTACT SMITH & WESSON AT1-800-331-0852 or email us at PPK_S@smith-wesson.com."

The Walther PPK and PPK/S despite of it's reputation is the most over rated handgun in the world. Take it from someone who HAD one, it will take a chunk out of the web of your hand when the slide goes back and it is exceptionally jam prone due to the very small ejector port.

An officer from the A/4 gun team was in court on duty testifying on a case. He walked out of court and while crossing the street was hit by a car a suffered devastating injuries. Yesterday he went in front of the pension board and instead of 75% disability he was only given 50% because the Pension Board said his injuries did not occur while he was working. My point is it is great Mike is all over T.V. calling people out but shouldn't Mike be working just as hard to get coppers what they entitled to? Maybe if he had worked a little harder this officer could have gotten a 75% pension.

Way to promote yourself again Shields!!! Why don't you bring up the fact that you are trying to stipends for a parking spot and driving downtown for work???

Hell, I want the city to pay me too for every day I drive to work and court.

What is court you say? Oh thats right you have never locked a person up in all the time you have on the job!!!

OT--Regarding how the Tribune got the copper's home address in that article about the parking tickets?

I just Zaba searched myself and my address popped up along with an aerial view of my neighborhood and an arrow pointing to my house.

Welcome to BIG BROTHER WORLD!

This is really old news. There is no protecting yourself from this sort of intrusion as a police officer or civilian,,, also if the house actually pops up on the Google Site that is attached to Zabasearch.com, then your name is pretty unique, otherwise it wouldn't happen.

May I suggest to everyone a few simple things. Short of everyone changing their names to joe smith,or creating a second address with a relative they don't care for,,,Never use your first name in public discourse in front of shitheads, harder for them to track just "Jones" rather than "Shaquille Jones". Take your name off of your mailbox, the post office doesn't give a shit its there anyways, and finally of course,,,be aware that some of the more deranged, stupid shitheads can get your address if they want quite easily, your castle is only an illusion of safety.

Anyone watch Fox News at 10 tonight? YOUR Pension Fund is paying over $22,000 a year for law school for a secretary of the Executive Director, John J. Gallagher, Jr.

John J. Gallagher’s reasoning was, “we have $2.8 billion in our fund.” This is about $2 billion less than two years ago.

Why is our fund paying for this? The pension board does not have or need a full time attorney! So what’s the secretary going to do after she finishes law school, say so long suckers!

Why when the patrolmen’s trustee’ brought up a motion to stop paying for law school for John Gallagher’s secretary, it was shot down with a 3-3 vote. Mike Shields, Patrolman, Mike Lazzaro, Sgt. and Stephanie D. Neely, City Treasurer voted to stop paying.

Why did the Retiree’s Trustee, Kenneth Hauser, vote to continue paying along with 2 other city appointed trustees? Kenny’s vote would have made it a 4-2 in favor of stopping this madness!

I think maybe the Chalkie image, on a new Olympic game, we could make some big coin on the residuals, call it the Tourist, Run, Dodge and Jump... well set it up in one of several neighborhoods and see who can make it say 3 blocks without Chalkie getting you.... in the true Chicago tradition.

There will not be a pension in approximately 6 years. At one time I thought it would last 10, but not with what they have allowed to happen. THEY are the pension board and their freebies given to them by Grade D investment firms. You know, free trips, cocktail parties and the like.

OT:I was informed that you can now pull up what percentage of manpower vs. full staffing is on the streets at any given time via the CLEAR system. Give it a try. Last night we had 19 DISTRICTS running at UNDER 65% MANPOWER with only 4 districts at 80% or higher.Go onto Web Mapping (right above webmail exchange) and on the right toward the bottom you can pull up the daily A&A map of manpower. Im not in front of a dept PC so I cant tell you exactly the heading but you can find it... that is, until they shut it down because of how pathetically short this department is staffed as of late.

How about the shooter (Ybarra) in that triple homicide last week now reportedly was aquited of another murder that occured years earlier just blocks away. Way to go cook county jury's. I'm sure the three families will be happy to know that b/c of some bullshit technicality at court this monster was allowed out to kill again.

From What I have seen and read about Mr. Michael Shields on this site, I am glad we have him.Who else has the "Guts" to confront the pension board on these issues.We all like to rant and rave on this site, but come next election we will all check the box marked Democrat. Why, because we are afraid to piss off our aldermen or worst yet, the mayor might find out.Yes; you all know I am correct."With all our rage, we are still just rats in a cage"

Hey media time to ask J-Fed why our homicides are at the same rate as last year. What happened to all the good news back in January. Something must of happened to our new crime fighting techniques. Or its what everyone said it was the weather. Old man winter has left the building. Good Luck getting a straight answer.

MIKE SHIELDS IS YUR REP AT THE PENSION BOARD. HE HAS TAKEN A STAND ABOUT THE EMPLOYEE THAT IS DRAINING OUR FUND OF 88 THOUSAND DOLLARS TO GO TO LAW SCHOOL. WHICH ONE OF YOU BRIGHT YOUNG HARD CHARGING GUYS HAVE RALLIED TO HIS AID? WHEN YOU ARE RETIRED YOU WILL FIND THAT THE FUND IS BROKE BECAUSE YOU DIDNT WATCH YOUR PRIME ASSET. GO ON LIKE SHEEP AND PRAY THAT ALL WILL BE WELL. THE FUND IS DOWN BY AT LEAST 1/3 AND THEY ARE GIVING FREE LAW SCHOOL TUITION TO SECERTARIES? Wake UP ROOKIES AND SEE WHAT IS IMPORTANT!!GET BEHIND MIKE..HE CARES ABT YOU AND YOUR FUTURE! THE CLOUTED ONES ARE STEALING US BLIND!

No qualifications she even bought a shit load of new chevy pickups to tour the site! daley fu*ked all the people in bensenville out of their homes,and the viLlAge looks like shit all the homes are still standing what a jagoff! Hey John Kass and mayor of BENSENVILLE how about a Rosie Andolino investigation? Hey FRANK MAIN YOU BUSY?!

Last month, our new pension trustee Mike Shields tried to get rid of an investment manager that has lost nearly half of a $50m investment. He lost that battle. This month, he tried to stop the pension fund from paying for law school for the "Executive Director's" personal secretary. He lost, but at least he's making some waves and shining a light on the BS. There are four trustees that are/were the police. Why don't they all vote for the right thing? And, who exactly is the secretary's clout? Answers, anyone? It must be good.

Way to promote yourself again Shields!!! Why don't you bring up the fact that you are trying to stipends for a parking spot and driving downtown for work???

Hell, I want the city to pay me too for every day I drive to work and court.

What is court you say? Oh thats right you have never locked a person up in all the time you have on the job!!!

You gutless piece of shit! You'll be crying like a bitch when there's no pension in 20 years. Shields is trying to get shit done. He is the first and only pension trustee to attempt to fire a poorly performing investment manager. He has the balls to speak up about clouted secretary getting FREE law school on our dime. Our pension had over four billion in 2007. Is has 2.75 billion today. It's panic button time and you're throwing shit at the only guy trying to do something. STFU! Loser.

10.5 million how much more money does daley have "hidden"! Hey Fitzgerald please get this guy,fill up the bus how about stroger and the 50,put madigan in for more icing!

HOW ABOUT CHECKING OUT DALEY'S FUNNELING OF STOLEN TAX DOLLARS TO BANK ACCOUNTS OF DISTANT RELATIVES IN IRELAND ???

Another reason every officer on this department should be trained on and qualified with a rifle,

NO---ANOTHER REASON WHY EVERY OFFICER ON THIS DEPARTMENT SHOULD ROLL WITH A PARTNER, AND CALL FOR BACKUP ON EVERY TRAFFIC STOP, 2 BANGER =TYPES IN A CAR, STOP EM WITH 4 COPPERS, 3 BANGERS, 5 COPPERS, 4 BANGERS, AT LEAST 6 COPPERS. LET DALEY PAY FOR THE EXTRA COPS, IF NOT, FUCK EM, BE SAFE, DO OONLY WHATS SAFE, DON'T BE STUPID.

Looney Rooney learned that: In an effort to determine the top crime fighting agency in the country, the president narrowed the field to three finalist, the CIA, the FBI, and the Chicago Police.

The three remaining contenders were given the task of catching a rabbit which was released into the forest.

The CIA went into the forest. They placed animal informants throughout. They questioned all plant and mineral witnesses. After three months of extensive investigation they concluded that rabbits do not exist.

The FBI went into the forest. After two weeks without a capture, they burned the forest killing everything in it, including the rabbit. They made no apologies. The rabbit deserved it.

The CPD went into the forest. They came out two hours later with a badly beaten bear. The bear was yelling "Okay, Okay, I'm a rabbit, I'm a rabbit".

An officer from the A/4 gun team was in court on duty testifying on a case. He walked out of court and while crossing the street was hit by a car a suffered devastating injuries. Yesterday he went in front of the pension board and instead of 75% disability he was only given 50% because the Pension Board said his injuries did not occur while he was working. My point is it is great Mike is all over T.V. calling people out but shouldn't Mike be working just as hard to get coppers what they entitled to? Maybe if he had worked a little harder this officer could have gotten a 75%?

dear Mr. Gallagher;

Nice try buddy. Mike is not the only person to vote on such things. He is out voted by all of the Daley boys that have the suck positions at the board. Don'T try to put it on Mike as he voted for the 3/4 pension.

PS stop giving our money away to your girl friday.How is she connected? Although she does look a lot like you...

Hey if you dont care about your money then thats fine. But the rest of us are sick of the bull shit stealing - thats our money

All of us including myself post anonymous on this blog. Mike Shields like him or hate him puts it on the line. Mike for what its worth thanks I wish we had someone militant in the fop. Someone who could talk. Maybe that someone is getting ready to run. You went on line with Huberman when you were just a patrolman. Not one of the assholes who say shit about you will leave their name. That my friend says it all.

To: "Walthers were great guns until S&W took the company over and ran it into the ground.

2/27/2009 08:51:00 AM"

I posted that bit on the Walther PPK and PPK/S, and the one I owned in the mid 1970s was made in Germany, in .380 cal (9mm kurtz) and was lousy. It was imported by Interarms way before S&W took it over Walter.

There are many compact 9mm Lugar hanguns about the same size that I wish the department would let us carry.

We're paying for a law degree for a fuckin' secretary... We have no (none, zero, NaDa) lawyers at the pension board. When she's finished with her degree, do you think she stay as the secretary? That's the point. Thanks, Mike you're doing a great job!

*****************************

Hey you uninformed asshole. Not to tip my hand, but wait until the official findings/transcripts are released and you'll see who the ONLY trustee is that voted in favor of granting that PO his 75%. Your ignorance will surely get the best of you someday, and hopefully soon.

To Mike Shields,Why don't you post the next date you plan on calling out someone, or something at the pension board so some of officers concerned about our pension can go there. Maybe a presence of force can persuade these people to stop blowing some, if not all, of our money. I would like to retire someday (soon) and know that I will receive a pension till my dying day, then my wife can receive her widow pension till her dying day.

I don't mean to be critical, but I've shown the logo to several civilians and they don't get it...they said, why is the guy holding a spike? Think it needs to be tweaked, to a flame coming out, then, smoke fading. Sorry, just telling you for the masses to get it.........

I think that a large sized "Chalkie " Beach Towel would be really cool. The Tourists would love it.. Can U imagine Daley's face if the News showd Oak Street Beach on a hot sunny day, and Chalkie Beach Towels were everywhere, PRICELESS.

Way to Go Mike Shields. These politicians and big wigs of Shitcago are all common thieves, and are like Vampires. They cannot stand the Light of Truth. Let the Light of Truth shine on Shitcago Lord, let the Light of Truth shine down on these Heathens.

Last month, our new pension trustee Mike Shields tried to get rid of an investment manager that has lost nearly half of a $50m investment......................This is true and I believe the firefighters got rid of this manager. Who were the ones who voted to keep them in??? Please post.

One of our best guys in 007 recovered a carbine loaded with .223; equipped w/red-dot laser. A call to ATF drew much attention. Always call AFT on all similar seizures.

instead of olympic rings how about five different color skulls on a white background with a bullet hole in the forehead & chicago 2016underneath?

or better yet for the chicago seal, instead of the indian, a striding laughing skeleton (if i recall was a precursor to the jolly roger) wearing a tux & clutching bags of money. a burning car instead of the ship of commerce. a tombstone for the shield & sheaf of wheat and instead of the baby on the sea shell it's shortshanks bent over pointing at his ass telling the citizens of chicago to "kiss mine." (wtf, he's doing it anyway right)?

You guys are smart, you know what's happening to the city. How do we get you involved in a group formed to keep the Olympics from choosing Chicago? Daley has sold our meters, arenas, airports, parks, is closing mental health clinics (you want these guys out on the street unmedicated?), schools, sports for freshmen, calls city workers "clock watchers" and thinks you are all a bunch of morons. Oh yeah, and the public too, because he thinks we are going to support his insanity that's made us the most expensive and depressing city in America. Join us, we are NOGAMESCHICAGO and we'd love to have you with us. We are from everywhere in the city, all backgrounds, and share a common goal. Join us!
